Asking a Guy Out for a Change

Who would have thought that
dating could be so much harder now, especially with the proliferation of online
dating sites? Unfortunately, todays
fast-paced society has propelled both men and women to be more focused on their
respective careers, with their dating lives taking a backseat.

Unfortunately, statistics show
that the more you prolong the waiting process for dating, you know, when you
have more time on your hands or when youre finally stable and settled in your
career, the harder it will be to get back in the saddle.

The Clock is Ticking

Sometimes, when you finally find
yourself with more time and ready to start dating again, you will be surprised
to find that its actually harder than you thought. Why?
Youve been away from the dating scene a long time that you dont know
how to get it going again or youve become so much wiser now that you dont
want to lower your standards or settle for whoever comes along just because
your biological clock is ticking.

Unfortunately, the pressures on,
and the more you feel it, the more you have the tendency to rebel against
it. Meanwhile, your love life is
stumped, and as time goes by, you find yourself still alone and wishing for a
mate or partner.

What do you do?

Jumpstart Your Dating Life

There is no harm in giving your
dating life a little push especially nowadays when men dont find it strange
anymore that they are at the other end of the game of pursuit. Its actually a refreshing change for some of
them, so asking a guy out is a welcome respite from all the chasing theyve
been doing since time immemorial.

However, be careful not to put
yourself out on the line to the point of appearing too eager or desperate. Men still love a little mystery so leave
something to the imagination to keep them coming back at least until youve
both established that you like each other enough to go on dating and see where
it leads.

The only difference this time is
that you asked him out first. The
invitation for the second and following dates should come from him. As in any dating ritual, the second date kind
of seals the deal, so whether you were the one who did the asking is irrelevant
on the first date. If he doesnt call
for a followup date, hes probably not that into you, so shift your attention
to someone else.

Dont fear that you will be
tagged as playing the field. Youre a
grown woman who knows what she wants, and thats not a crime. Some people might find it a bit odd or off,
but does it really matter what they think when youre the one dating the guy?

In the end, know that you have
the right to be with whomever you want to be for as long as hes not married or
attached, and youre free as a bird, I say go for it! You know you deserve to be happy.
